Abstract Arbitration constitutes undoubtedly nowadays a whole market part of world legal services. Maritime actors prefer the mechanism due to its confidentiality and efficiency. However, the contribution of Africa in this area seems to be marginal due to the multiplication of jurisdiction clauses to the advantage of strong maritime arbitration centers. This situation can be inverted if adequate solutions are addressed by Africans. Looking at this topic, there is need to emphasize on its current practice in Africa highlighting some of the challenges faced by the continent; before doing a prospective analysis on what needs to be done to boost the practice of maritime arbitration in Africa to adapt to the competitive field of arbitration.
